Morphology

EXR = E + X + R

EXR is an initialism/acronym; its individual letters are not productive English morphemes and do not transparently convey the file-format meaning.

Etymology

EXR is easy to remember if you think of it as short for extended range, meaning 'a wide range of light and color' because the format keeps very bright and very dark parts of an image. So, professionals use EXR when they need to keep extra image detail for visual effects and animation.
